Any idea as to a release date yet? I know I've been hearing 2Qtr 2010 but I want to make sure I'm paying attention so I can get one preordered from BBTS. I have no doubt that they will fly off the shelves before I can even get to the store. Especially since most of them seem to only carry 2-4 Leader toys at a time.
(edit)- I have heard to expect Leader Prime and SS by mid April. May be true but will confirm as I can. I was told to keep my eyes peeled.

Actualy, being a leader, it's just natural that he gets more kibble considering he has electronics inside.
Mirage232
Hmmm, the leader class Starscream really should have as little kibble as the voyager, if not less. Oh well, still looking foward to picking this guy up.
GAUGE
No it's not.
The Missile hand attachment is removable.
No it does not come with 2.
the back of the box shows what it comes with.

I know it's a long shot but has anyone checked out those patent websites? The ones where we initially found the first wave of Real Gear figures, as well as unreleased G1 patents? Could be an idea to check them out. I'd do it myself but could never really navigate around them well.

is the missile launcher gimmick in both arms? :O…or is it removable, and comes with two?…sorry i didnt read through all 30 something pages…

I can't wait.

Oh yeah, It would be awesome to have them, but I'd rather have the other important things.
I like what the voyager did, and had the wings fold to the shape of the engines on his back. It was still something there to imagine ;P
knoted
True that….but imo, it wouldn't hurt to push Hasbro as much as possible to deliver 'the goods' for our money.
Toxicon
…what? I was insinuating that you could just hide the boosters within the body of the jet mode. It's a toy, it doesn't have to be able to fly, just look like a plane and then look like a robot.
Optronix_prime
Not when it's a key aspect to the look of the plane. (and don't be like KIBBLE ON THE BOTTOM!, is the bottom of the plane really that important?) Putting boosters on the plane would ruin the fact that it's an F22, so yeah, it is important.
It's like taking Optimus's truck mode, and putting the actual engine inside of the cab, because it appears on the robot mode. Sure it's possible, but not on a mass market toy.
Toxicon
Or they could just, y'know, NOT BE IN THE TAIL OF THE PLANE. It's a toy, dude. The boosters can be wherever they want.
Optronix_prime
Well in case you weren't aware, the movie transformations are impossible
It's not possible to get a bot mode that looks that good, with the boosters. Having those boosters inside the tail would take up ALOT of room.
knoted
well, it makes all the sense in the world to demand such a transformation from a leader class priced figure… despite the fact that pretty much everyone is aware that a real F22 has non exposed engines to avoid radar detection.
….it's probably not gonna happen.. i know… but saying it's not making sense just to defend a company whose not willing/able to engineer such a thing, is just going a bit too far imo.
Spiderskater3
OH MY FUCKING GOD!!!!!!!!!!! That is the best transformers action figure I have ever seen! I'm so angry that i got 2 voyager starscreams and not this guy, I hate buying the same character over BUT except for this because this is pure AWESOMENESS!
Optronix_prime
Yeah but the reason it makes no sense is that the F22's boosters are concealed and not exposed, so movie starscreams boosters form out of those parts…inside the raptor.
So to get boosters they would actually need to build an engine inside the tail section of the toy that can fully transform…
Or they can just not include it and have a super accurate jet mode
knoted
The boosters on his back enable him to do action such as flying in botmode ; the awesome aerial fight scene against the F22 squad in movie 1.
Without realistic propulsion, movie bots cannot fly….hence the boosters on SS's back.
Dinobot Snarl
I've actually realized that I like the compromise figures, but not the full ROTF renditions, so basically I've really been enjoying some of the scouts and I look foward to Mindwipe and Brawl!

why would there be boosters on his back.. i don't understand why people are soo obsessed with those things.
when i think of starscream i think of the wings on his shoulders, the way his legs are articulated, his arms, and his chest.. i would definitely have those aspects be more accurate than sacrifice something to have the boosters on his back. (oh and i wouldn't mind having the boosters if nothing had to be sacrificed, i do like them, but i'm not disappointed at all that they're not there)
and there really isn't much kibble in his jet mode.. just because there isn't a nice casing around the parts like in the voyager version doesn't mean it's "kibblicious". and it's not like you see those parts in his alt mode anyways.. i think they did a fantastic job on this. there's nothing under his wings, there aren't any fingers sticking out the back, there isn't a substantial backpack on him in robot mode, they got the legs very close to accurate, the arms are great with his hidden gattling gun and missiles.. and it was a REALLY great touch to have the missile arm piece as an attachment, that way they can be more accurate with it and both of his arms can be normal if you want them to. the only thing i wish they could have done better are the tattoos and the overall color. the actual jet mode in the movie didn't have nearly as much black tattooing on the body, and i wish the nose of the jet had more complete tattooing. also i wish they would have had him with a flat grey scheme with some white designing and black tattooing over that. to closer resemble the movie model.
and how exactly is starscream an abomination? i personally think that he is one of the best models in the movie. to me.. they definitely seem more real than if they had G1 starscream on screen.. don't get me wrong, i love G1 and the classics/universe line.. but i think the movie models really bring a realism to transformers.. not to mention they require more complex transformations. i mean.. leader primes transformation is incredible. and showing someone how they made a very accurate truck turn into an extremely accurate robot is what transformers are all about.. and it looks like leader starscream could be thrown in that mix.
